Anthony Bourdain's 'The Hunger' Tour Kicks Off in October

On the heels of a presidential summit in a hole-in-the-wall in Hanoi for the season-eight premiere of Parts Unknown, Anthony Bourdain is taking his go-anywhere, eat-anything stories on the road. Starting October 7 in Boston, Bourdain will embark on a 15-date live tour of the country, wrapping up on November 22 in Brooklyn. And the good news? There are still (some, not many) tickets available.

The tour, dubbed "The Hunger," coincides with the release of Appetites,a new cookbook by Bourdain with a thoroughly punk rock cover by Ralph Steadman of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas fame. Appetites will include his favorite home-cooked recipes, from roast chicken to Kuching-style laksa—and, we'd wager, a good deal of sarcasm and vegan-baiting. "It's sort of my version of Ina Garten, you know?" he told Made Man. "If Ina Garten had, like, a gun, it would be this."

This isn't the first time Bourdain has trekked across the country telling tales of his off-the-grid culinary adventures (remember the fermented shark in Iceland? The blood marrow in Singapore?). Last year, his largely sold-out "Close to the Bone" tour hit ten cities in the U.S., and was a blend of travel advice ("Be good guests and be curious about the world"), trend bashing (Instagramming your food "is not even passive-aggressive; it’s aggressive-aggressive"), and f-bombs in the triple digits.
